It is not my intention to be derogatory, but if Senator Reid really wants to give 'em Hell, I wonder why he permits a horrid version of FISA to come to the Senate Floor and pass.

The Senate version of the FISA legislation permits the Bush/Cheney administration escape liability for the invasion of our privacy. It allows those complicit in the constitutional violation of our freedoms to secure immunity. Respectfully, such legislation should never have reached the floor.

So far, we are fortunate that the House has not agreed to the Senate version. Let us insure that the House/Senate caucus does not cave in to Bush again. As Democrats that were elected to preserve our Constitutional guarantees, I am requesting that Give 'em Hell Harry insure that the final version, if there need be one, delete the immunities set to protect Bush/Cheney and the telecoms. They should suffer the consequence of their unmitigated attack on the Constitution. They are fortunate that the Democrats, for whatever reason, have determined not to impeach. They should not be cowtowed to if the Democrats want to maintain and increase their hold on Congress.
